These are the sheets from our brainstorming session. Maybe we can start to summarize and sort through these (Ann and Bonnie) on a separate page or further below and allow the folks from these groups to expand and explain in the section below. From Bonnie: I started a separate page for the Vision - I'll get an initial draft out there tomorrow, 12/11 (or someone else can) and we can edit it together from there. I also started a discussion thread requesting clarification from Group 3 on a couple of their points. Thank you!
